Precis: In this straightforward editorial, The Dallas Morning News claims that the rising gas prices cannot be blamed on President Barack Obama or the Republicans; and they are not getting anywhere by trying to point fingers at one another rather then figuring out an issue in order to be able to change the price and lower the burden on merican citizens.
Personal Commentary: I think the author is right. We aren't getting anywhere by "pointing fingers" and we need to come to an agreement to come up with a solution to help lower gas prices.

Precis: In this serious editorial, The Dallas Morning News asserts that the Syria issue needs to be aided by international efforts so that the rebels can put up a fight in order to get freedom from the awful massacres going on in Syria. Personal Commentary: I most definitely agree with this editorial. I do not think we should send troops to Syria, but the U.S., as well as other countries, help aid the rebels in their struggle. If we help the rebels we couldnt help bring down the Syrian dictator an stop the massive amoutns of killing.
Precis: In this sharp editorial, The Dallas Morning News claims that SWIFT breaking the neutrality policy was essential in order to prevent Iran from getting the money they need to construct nuclear weapons and threaten the world.
Personal Commentary: This plan seems to be woth it. The Iranians will get mad but without mone they cannot make progress. It will save lives and show Iran that they can't just do whatever they want, whenever they want.
Precis: In this pressing editorial, The New York Times asserts that while the Supreme Court looks over the laws the Congress makes, it is Congress's job to judge how effective the law is in order to keep balance in the government.
Personal Commentary: I think that the Supreme Court should help Congress fix the law because ultimtely the Supreme Court will decided whether it gets passed or not so their input is valuable.
Precis: In this critical editorial, The New York Times claims that Congress cannot make a decision on the human trafficking act because Republicans do not want to renew it and that the repassing of the act should be a "no-brainer" in order to save many lives.
Personal Commentary: This act should definitely be renewed. It has helped so many people so far that stopping it won't help, obviously, and human trafficking needs to be stopped.
Precis: In this critical editoral, The New York Times asserts that Europe is avoiding their debt crisis by claiming that their "firewall" plan is working in order to hide all the bailout money they are using and to assure its people that everything is okay.
Personal Commentary: Europe needs to face the facts that their debt crisis is bad and take advice from other countries to help them get out of the crisis. It won't help if they just reject everything other countries suggest, and then they go along with their "firewall" idea that was too late to really prevent any more damamge to the countires.
Precis: In this direct editorial, The New York Times claims that states with high unemployment debt shouldn't have to pay back their loans from the federal government in order to maintain state-based benefits and rebuild unemployment reserves.
Personal Commentary: If states have borrowed money from the federal government it should have to pay back its loans to the government. Just because they are in debt doesn't mean they can get opted out of paying the money. The government needs money to help those unemployed get jobs.
Precis: In this direct editorial, The New York Times suggests that the world needs to come up with a way to efficiently and sustainably grow and produce food in order to provide engouh food for the population and to give the world a new vision on how to farm and eat.
Personal Commentary: This is a really important topic that our world needs to figure out. We are a growing exponentially and need to be able to give food to everyone in our world.
Precis: In this direct editorial, The New York Times asserts that India will not forgive or make official peace with Pakistan until it apologizes for the Mumbai attack, but the fact that they a re meeting shows progress and in order to have the two countries to make peace, it may have to be a slow and steady process.
Personal Commentary: I feel like this situation is a pride problem. They are in a nuclear rivalry and neither one wants to give in or up first. But the meetings show progress. Hopefully peace will come soon if both leaders are willing.
Precis: In this straightforward editorial, The New York Times claims that while House Republicans claim they are the reason unemployment has decreased, they have rejected all bills that have tried to help the economy and have "stopped" all of the unreasonable bills in order to get voters to vote for the Republican presidency.
Personal Commentary: This author is clearly bias. While the Republicans may not have been the only reason unemployment goes down, both parties have helped. It wasn't only one party because they have to work together to get laws and bills passed.
